Trump Admits to Withholding Declassification of Secret Information on Tape

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump is heard on an audio recording from 2021 saying that he had taken classified information with him to his Florida home after leaving the White House. Trump acknowledged that the document he claims to have is "highly confidential" and "secret." A federal grand jury voted to indict Trump on at least seven federal charges late Thursday as part of an investigation into his handling of classified documents. The transcript appears to suggest that Trump is showing the document in question to those in the room.
